Nose Surgery Jacksonville

Nose surgery at Jacksonville's Garcia Facial Plastic Surgery center is performed by a board certified nose surgeon using the latest plastic reconstructive, corrective and restorative techniques. If you are considering nose surgery, you should seek the advice of a plastic surgeon that understands the functional aspect of the nasal passage as well as the artistic sculpting needed for cosmetic reconstruction. Our plastic surgeons perform many nasal operations every year to improve both the form and function of our patients' nose and facial features. Often a single nose surgery can alleviate a patient's breathing problems, correct a deformity from birth and produce a more aesthetic facial appearance. If you're considering corrective nasal surgery, give us a call at 1-800-803-0082 to learn more about your options or to schedule a private consultation with a plastic surgeon.

Since your nose sits in the middle of your face, it is usually the most prominent feature of your face and a slight alteration of the nasal structure can produce very positive results. Rhinoplasty is an aesthetic nasal surgery where our plastic surgeon reshapes your nose to improve the balance with the other features of your face. In some cases, our cosmetic surgeon may suggest chin or cheek implants in conjunction with nose surgery to alter the prominence of each feature while attaining your goals for facial appearance and improvement. As is the case with all plastic surgery, it is most important for you to have realistic goals and to understand the limitations of nose surgery. Once you've had an appointment for a consultation with a nose surgeon at our Jacksonville facial surgery center, we can give you a better idea as to the results you can expect from your nose surgery.

We do not recommend cosmetic nose surgery or nose jobs for younger individuals. Unless there are underlying functional problems of the nose or nasal passages, it is better to leave decisions for elective cosmetic surgery until adulthood. However, there are a number of functional nasal surgeries that allow our plastic surgeons to improve a younger patient's breathing by straightening the patient's septum or surgically reconstructing his or her nasal turbinates. Often an improvement in the aesthetics of the nose and facial features are simply a bonus or by product of corrective nose surgery meant to remedy functional maladies. Problems such as a deviated septum may indicate a combination of procedures be used during corrective nose surgery.

Facial aging is another common cause of nasal obstructions and often results in restricted breathing. The cartilage in the nose weakens over time and the sides of the nose collapse when the nose begins to droop due to the forces of gravity. Breathing through an open mouth and snoring are often ill effects produced by an aging nose. These changes can disrupt the patient's life and often impacts the lives of their loved ones. An inexpensive intervention to temporarily correct the problem caused by the collapse of the unsupported nasal sidewalls is to apply a sports strip that lifts the sides of the nose and opens the airways for improved breathing. If the strips work, our board certified plastic surgeon can discuss a more permanent solution using the appropriate nose surgery.
